Wii Fit

[xhaustedmomma]

I bought myself the game for Christmas. Don't know if I can wait that long.

[Lyssie]

I wouldn't.

I've been bugging my husband to get me a wii box and the game since I first saw it! I hope he gets me one soon, because it would be great to use at home when I can't make it to the gym.

..... off to bug DH again!

I love my wii fit its my new best friend!! I love in cause you can do it in the privacy of your own home and its so much easier for people who havent exercised in a while( like me) to get back to working out. i would recommend to everyone. just got mine for xmas.

I LOVE mine, when I use it. Sure the step exercises do not last a long time, but you can do them over and over again and you can spend as much time as you want on it. It weighs you, gives your BMI, you can make a Mii (a mini YOU character) it keeps track of your progress, you can put stamps on a calendar for each day you do things, it gives you tips, if you want them. I have had mine for 264 days (or something like that and it tells me that each time I am on it, adding the time it has been since my last encounter with it) It is fun and it keeps you motivated. I would reccomend it to anyone, esp those who are not real hip on exercising. (like me)

hey this sounds great. and a much fun way to lose some weight. especially for lazy people like me *embarrassed*.

i know the ski thing lyssie mentioned. cause i've seen people promoting them on a health game show.

You can set it to do a plain stepping version that can last up to an hour, I think?? I was bored after 30 minutes of just stepping up and down with no change. But you can also do the running one for that long... I am not sure I ever had the boxing one ask me if I wanted to do it like that.

My wife and daughter will start on the Wii Fit. Its been to cold or to late for walks, so Wii fit will do the job for them when they are home .I will post there progress so everybody knows what works the best for them ..This game even does your wieght and every time you get on it will show your progress for you ....MarkM.....

[Romandachs]

Hey Mark, You get on it too!! My husband has done it, but his Mii has slept since about a month after we got it. My son does it occasionally too, he does a lot of the stuff that I SUCK at like the Hula Hoop and the soccer ball head butting. The step does get your heart going, as does the running but since I am not very "fit" I can only do the short runs and have not attemped the longer step exercises, on the one step, you can change the beat of the step, increase the speed with "up" beats. I wish they would allow some "on-line" challenges (with others where you can see each others progress) and adding more games and such. Maybe eventually. I think it has become a bigger hit that what they had anticipated.

[Lyssie]

Yeah, they had no idea that it would be so spectacular. THis is why it's been hard to come by games for it. There are now some games available that you can play with other users (online) while using the board.

For the step one, I have found that even at the fastest speed, it's iffy.. I am still debating whether the board will work if I try to raise it to make it a little more challenging.
